The 2T is a generation behind Tacx's current flagship, which means it's often available at a real discount — sometimes undercutting the V6 outright while matching it on the numbers that matter most.
Spec-by-Spec
| Tacx NEO 2T | Wahoo KICKR V6 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ~€899 (historically, availability varies) | ~€1,099-1,299 (often on sale) |
| Max power | 2,200W | 2,200W |
| Max gradient | 25% | 20% |
| Accuracy | ±1% | ±1% |
| Connectivity | ANT+, Bluetooth | ANT+, Bluetooth x3, WiFi, Ethernet |
| Movement | Side-to-side | None |
| Cassette included | No | Yes |
Where the NEO 2T Wins
Higher gradient simulation (25% vs 20%), built-in side-to-side movement the V6 doesn't have at all, and — when you can find it in stock — a lower price than Wahoo's current flagship, for matching power accuracy.
Where the KICKR V6 Wins
Significantly broader connectivity (WiFi and Ethernet aren't available on the 2T), an included cassette, and it's the currently manufactured model — no availability uncertainty to worry about.
The Availability Question
This is the real catch with the 2T: it's being phased out in favor of the NEO 3M, so stock and pricing vary a lot by region and retailer. If you can find one at a genuine discount with proper warranty support, it's a legitimately strong deal. If it's priced close to the V6 or hard to find, the decision gets much easier.
The Verdict
If the 2T is in stock near you at a meaningful discount, it matches the V6 on the numbers that matter most (power, accuracy) and adds movement the V6 doesn't have — a smart buy. If availability or long-term support worries you, the V6's connectivity and current-model status make it the safer default.
